|
|
|
Cambridge University |
Preliminary English
Test (PET)
A pass in PET indicates
that the student has the language skills to cope linguistically in typical
social and work situations in an English-speaking environment.
First Certificate
in English (FCE)
FCE is an
upper-intermediate examination, and is the most popular of the Cambridge Exams.
At this level learners can expect to be able to work or study in an English
speaking environment and cope easily as a tourist in an English speaking
country. It is widely recognised in commerce and industry as well as by many
university faculties and other institutions.
Certificate in
Advanced English (CAE)
This is a high
level final qualification in English for those wishing to use English for
professional or study purposes. At this level learners can be expected to cope
confidently in most situations that would arise in an English speaking country
- socially, professionally and in higher education.
Certificate of
Proficiency in English (CPE)
This is a very high
level final qualification in English, fulfilling English language entry requirements
at many British universities, and universities in other English-speaking
countries. It is also a qualification for admission to courses for employment
demanding a thorough knowledge of English. Learners can be expected to function
at a high level in nearly all situations in an English speaking environment.
Please note all of
the above courses run subject to student numbers.
